Cursive g

Stroke order

1. 1Start just below the midline and close a round oval, as for a.
2. 2From the top of the oval, pull straight down to the descender line.
3. 3Loop back to the left and come up to cross the stem at the baseline.
4. 4Curve out from the crossing into the next letter.

Where it joins

It comes in over the top of the oval, as a does, and goes out from where the loop crosses the stem on the baseline, as in “go”.

Mixed up with

Above the baseline g and q are the same letter. Below it, the loop of g turns back to the left, as y’s does, and the loop of q forward to the right. Many print fonts give g two bowls; cursive g has one oval and one loop.
